Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Owlkeep uses cookies and similar technologies on websites operated or published by Owlkeep where this policy is displayed or linked.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information about the processing of personal data.

1. About Owlkeep

Owlkeep
Business ID: 1938273-1
Finland
Website: https://www.owlkeep.com

In this Cookie Policy, “Owlkeep”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Owlkeep.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your computer, mobile device or other terminal device when you visit a website.

Cookies can, for example:

• remember choices you have made;
• maintain technical website functionality;
• help protect a website from abuse;
• measure how visitors use a website;
• distinguish visits and sessions;
• measure the effectiveness of advertising; and
• support advertising and advertising preferences.

Similar technologies, including browser storage, tags, pixels and identifiers, may perform functions comparable to cookies.

In this policy, the term “cookies” also includes these similar technologies where appropriate.

3. Our Cookie Categories

Owlkeep divides cookies into categories according to their purpose.

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website or a feature specifically requested by you to function correctly.

They may be used for purposes including:

• remembering your cookie choices;
• maintaining essential website functionality;
• security and fraud prevention;
• load balancing;
• maintaining a requested session; and
• other technical functions required to provide the website.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent where their use is permitted without consent by applicable law.

They cannot generally be disabled through our cookie settings because doing so could prevent the requested website functionality from working.

Analytics Cookies

With your consent, Owlkeep uses analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our websites.

We use Google Analytics for this purpose.

Analytics may help us understand matters such as:

• how many visitors use a website;
• which pages are visited;
• how visitors arrive at the website;
• how visitors navigate between pages;
• approximate visit duration;
• device and browser characteristics;
• general geographic information;
• website and page performance;
• errors and technical problems; and
• the effectiveness of campaigns or links.

We use this information to understand our audience and improve our websites, content and productions.

Analytics cookies are not necessary for the basic operation of the website and are therefore used only in accordance with your cookie choices.

Google Analytics may use cookies such as _ga and _ga_<identifier> to distinguish users, visits or sessions. The exact cookies used may change as Google changes its services or as our configuration changes.

Advertising Cookies

With your consent, Owlkeep websites may use cookies and related technologies for advertising purposes.

These technologies may be used to:

• deliver advertising;
• measure advertising performance;
• measure conversions;
• determine whether an advertisement resulted in a visit or other action;
• limit how frequently the same advertisement is shown;
• prevent advertising fraud;
• understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;
• build or use advertising audiences; and
• personalise advertisements where you have consented to such personalisation.

Advertising technologies may be provided by Google, including Google advertising and measurement services.

Depending on the advertising services being used and your choices, Google may use cookies or identifiers associated with domains such as Google or DoubleClick.

Advertising cookies are not necessary for the basic operation of the website and are used only in accordance with your cookie choices.

Rejecting advertising cookies does not necessarily mean that you will no longer see advertising. Where technically available and lawful, advertising may instead be selected without relying on advertising cookies or personalisation.

Advertising Personalisation

Where personalised advertising is used, it is treated separately from merely displaying or measuring advertisements where our consent system provides that distinction.

Personalised advertising can use information concerning visits, interests, interactions or previous activity to influence which advertisements are shown.

We will not treat consent to analytics as consent to personalised advertising.

Where separate advertising choices are available, you may choose whether advertising-related data may be used for personalisation.

4. Google Analytics

Owlkeep uses Google Analytics, a website analytics service provided by Google.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow us to measure the use of our websites and prepare statistical information about website traffic and visitor behaviour.

Depending on configuration and your consent choices, information processed through Google Analytics may include information concerning:

• pages viewed;
• events and interactions;
• session information;
• referral information;
• campaign information;
• browser and device characteristics;
• approximate location;
• technical information concerning the connection; and
• identifiers used to distinguish browsers, devices, users or sessions.

Owlkeep uses analytics information primarily to measure website use, understand our audience, evaluate content and improve our websites and productions.

Google Analytics cookies are not activated as consented analytics cookies unless you have permitted analytics through our cookie consent system.

5. Google Advertising Services

Owlkeep may use information and services associated with Google Analytics together with Google advertising services for advertising measurement and control.

Depending on the services and configuration in use, this may include:

• measuring advertising campaigns;
• conversion measurement;
• determining which campaigns generate visits;
• advertising audience measurement;
• remarketing;
• advertising frequency management; and
• personalised advertising where separately permitted.

Google distinguishes between different types of advertising and analytics consent, including consent relating to analytics storage, advertising storage, advertising user data and advertising personalisation.

Our cookie consent system is intended to communicate and respect the choices applicable to the services being used.

Where you have not granted the required advertising consent, Owlkeep does not intentionally enable consent-dependent advertising cookies or personalised advertising through those choices.

6. Consent

When you first visit an Owlkeep website using non-essential cookies, our cookie dialog allows you to make choices concerning those cookies.

Non-essential cookies are not intended to be activated before the required consent has been given.

You may:

• accept the available non-essential cookie categories;
• reject non-essential cookies; or
• configure the available categories individually where the dialog provides this option.

Consent must result from an active choice.

Simply continuing to browse the website is not treated by Owlkeep as consent to non-essential cookies.

7. Changing or Withdrawing Your Consent

You may change your cookie choices or withdraw your consent at any time through the Cookie Settings control provided on the website.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred on the basis of valid consent before it was withdrawn.

After you withdraw consent, cookies already stored on your device may remain until they expire or are removed. Our website will no longer intentionally use them for purposes for which your consent has been withdrawn.

You may also remove stored cookies through your browser settings.

8. Refusing Cookies

You may refuse non-essential cookies without being denied access to the ordinary public content of the Owlkeep website solely because of that refusal.

Some optional functionality that relies upon a third-party service or a particular technology may not work without the cookies or consent required for that functionality.

Rejecting analytics cookies prevents us from using consent-dependent analytics cookies for your visit.

Rejecting advertising cookies prevents us from intentionally using consent-dependent advertising cookies in accordance with that choice.

Rejecting personalised advertising prevents advertising technologies controlled by our consent system from intentionally using your consent for personalised advertising.

9. Cookie Preference Storage

Our consent system may store a strictly necessary cookie or comparable local value to remember the cookie choices you have made.

This prevents us from repeatedly asking you to make the same choice on every page or every visit.

This preference storage is considered necessary for operating the cookie consent system.

We may ask you to renew your cookie choices periodically, or when there has been a significant change to the cookies, services, purposes or consent options used by a website.

10. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies and related technologies are provided by third parties whose services are integrated into Owlkeep websites.

At present, important third-party services may include services provided by Google, particularly Google Analytics and Google advertising technologies.

Third-party providers may process information according to their own terms, privacy policies and technical configurations.

The use of a third-party service on an Owlkeep website does not mean that every cookie available from that provider is necessarily used on that website.

The actual technologies used depend upon:

• the Owlkeep website being visited;
• features active on that website;
• our current service configuration;
• your cookie choices; and
• changes made by the relevant third-party provider.

11. Current Cookie Information

Cookie technology changes frequently.

For this reason, the Cookie Settings interface available on the relevant Owlkeep website should be used together with this policy when determining which cookie categories and services are currently enabled.

Depending on our consent-management implementation, the interface may provide additional current information concerning cookies, providers and purposes.

Examples of cookies that may be associated with services used by Owlkeep include:

Cookie or technology	Provider	Category	Typical purpose
Cookie consent preference	Owlkeep	Strictly necessary	Remembers your cookie choices
_ga	Google Analytics	Analytics	Distinguishes visitors
_ga_<identifier>	Google Analytics	Analytics	Maintains analytics session information
Google advertising cookies or identifiers	Google	Advertising	Advertising delivery, measurement, frequency control and related functions

The exact cookie names and durations can vary according to service configuration and changes made by third-party providers.

A cookie listed as an example above is not necessarily present on every Owlkeep website or for every visitor.

12. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be either:

Session cookies, which normally expire when the browser session ends; or

Persistent cookies, which remain for a defined period or until they are removed.

Google Analytics currently uses _ga and _ga_<identifier> cookies with a default expiration period of up to two years, although configuration or changes to Google’s services may alter this.

Advertising-cookie duration depends on the particular Google advertising technology, user region, configuration and consent choices.

Owlkeep aims not to retain cookies for longer than reasonably necessary for their stated purpose.

13. Browser Controls

Most browsers allow you to inspect, block or delete cookies through browser settings.

Browser controls are separate from Owlkeep’s Cookie Settings.

Blocking all cookies through your browser may also block strictly necessary cookies and may therefore affect website functionality or prevent the website from remembering your cookie choices.

Using browser settings to delete cookies may cause our cookie dialog to appear again because the stored record of your previous choice may also have been deleted.

14. Embedded and External Content

An Owlkeep website may contain links to or embedded material from external services.

Opening an ordinary external link takes you to a third-party website, where that third party controls its own cookies.

Where content from an external provider is embedded directly into an Owlkeep page and the content would require non-essential cookies or similar technologies, Owlkeep may delay or restrict loading that content until the appropriate consent has been given.

Third-party websites and services are governed by their own cookie and privacy practices.

15. Sites Published or Operated by Owlkeep

This policy may apply to multiple websites operated or published by Owlkeep where the policy is expressly displayed or linked.

Not every Owlkeep-published website necessarily uses the same combination of analytics, advertising or third-party services.

The cookie consent interface on the website you are currently visiting reflects the choices relevant to that website.

Individual Owlkeep websites may provide additional cookie information where their technology or purpose requires it.

16. Personal Data and Cookies

Some information collected through cookies and similar technologies may constitute personal data.

The collection and processing of personal data is described in greater detail in the applicable Privacy Policy.

This Cookie Policy focuses specifically on storing or accessing information through cookies and similar technologies and on the choices available to website visitors.

17. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when:

• technologies used by our websites change;
• we add or remove analytics or advertising services;
• third-party services change;
• our consent system changes;
• legal requirements or regulatory guidance change; or
• clarification of this policy is necessary.

The current version will be published on the relevant Owlkeep website together with its effective date.

Where a change requires renewed consent, our cookie system may ask you to make your choices again.
